Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the honey garlic sauce.
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half of the honey garlic sauce. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer around the chicken on the baking sheet.
- Roast the chicken and sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring the sweet potatoes halfway through.
- While the chicken and sweet potatoes are roasting, steam or blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the green beans to the baking sheet around the chicken and sweet potatoes. Drizzle the remaining honey garlic sauce over the green beans and toss everything to coat.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the green beans are tender.
- Serve the chicken, sweet potatoes, and green beans together, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken breasts with bone-in, skin-on chicken for extra flavor, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- If you prefer, you can swap the green beans for another vegetable, such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts.
- For a slightly spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
